Not-so Magnificent Seven

Billionaire Blair once had a vice-like grip on the Labour Party. Internal democracy was destroyed. Labour's Socialist objective was erased from the constitution, an orgy of privatisation followed, and a vicious imperialist war against Iraq led to thousands of unarmed civilians losing their lives.

To have the support of seven traitors is not all that magnificent in comparison. To read the Sun and the Daily Mail you would think this was the death of the Labour Party. On the contrary, to coin a phrase, "better out than in".

And any socialist would curl up and die of shame to be supported by the right wing press and fawned over by the BBC.

The honourable course would be to stand for re-election and see if the voters really want them but they are not the people for honourable courses. Chuka Amunna's volte-face on the issue of anti-semitism is a case in point.
